Searchable Online Version Sultan Qaboos Encyclopedia of Arab Names موسوعة السلطان قابوس لأسماء العرب

The Sultan Qaboos Encyclopedia of Arab Names was a project at Sultan Qaboos University in Oman patronized by that country's ruler. It covers a selection of over 36,000 names used by Arabs, including non-Arabic names (such as those used by Christian Arabs). It is a four-volume work. Unfortunately Lisaan.net holds the last three volumes only, due to the unavailability of the text of the first volume. While this lexicon's quality on the whole is acceptable, in certain (possibly rare) instances incorrect literal meanings for certain names are given.
